Samsung Galaxy S3 not showing up in eclipse but in device manager?

Tags:

adb

driver

galaxy

I know a lot of people have reported almost the same problem but i haven't found the solution yet.

I have eclipse installed.

  1. Installed Kies on my computer to get the ADB driver for the phone.
  2. I can see the ADBdriver on windows vista.
  3. I put the galaxy in developer mode and USB troubleshooting mode.
  4. The phone is detected in windows vista. I can see it in windows explorer.
  5. If I run adb devices from the "cmd" it does list my phone.

But in eclipse it does not show up? I have tried reinstalling the drivers a couple of times with no success.

Please help.

Why won't my Galaxy S3 connect to my computer?

Make sure your screen is unlocked. Your S3 may not be able to connect to your computer if your screen is locked. Unlock your screen after connecting it to your computer. Try a new USB cable and a different USB port. The cable you are using may only have enough pins to charge your S3, but not enough to transfer data.

Why won't my Samsung Galaxy S3 charge?

Unlock your screen after connecting it to your computer. Try a new USB cable and a different USB port. The cable you are using may only have enough pins to charge your S3, but not enough to transfer data. You'll need a USB cable with five pins, which you can see when you look closely at the plug.

First off, I'm brand new to App development. I installed Eclipse, the add-on, plug-in, sdk, etc. and am following the book "Android for Developers, an App-Driven Approach" in the Deitel Developer Series.

I had the same issue... I could run the sample app in an AVD, but my phone wasn't showing up in the Android Device Chooser. Eclipse wouldn't see my connected phone, so I tried running "adb devices" from the command line in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\

No devices showed up. I ensured the Galaxy was in Developer Mode with USB driver checked.

I could see the Samsung Galaxy S3 in Windows Explorer, and the Device Manager showed an warning with the driver under "Other Devices". I tried "Update Automatically" but that failed.

I went to this address: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/SGH-I747MBABMC

I downloaded KIES. Installation took a while (roughly 10 minutes)... it said it was installing a HotFix. Finally, I was prompted to choose items to install along KIES. I selected all three to be safe (Unified Driver Installer, Video Conversion Codec, and Kies Air Message). This took another minute or two.

When Kies came up, it said "please connect a device". I did so. Kies moved to a 'connecting' screen. After a bit, the Device Manager properly stated "SAMSUNG Android Phone" with "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface device under it" (I'm assuming the driver was installed by Kies which caused the Device Manager to update). Kies still said "Connecting" but it wasn't proceeding so I closed Kies (the device manager seemed to indicate all was working now, and running "adb devices" worked)

It now showed up in Eclipse.

Looks like I did need Kies, and it fixed the issue.

Hope this helps others.
